A close relative of Salvia nemorosa, Salvia amplexicaulis is native to Southeast Europe. Violet-blue flowers with prominent reddish-purple bracts grow closely together in whorls, forming a nearly continuous spike, with plants reaching between 50 and 75cm tall. Dormant in winter and therefore quite hardy. Cut back at the end of summer to tidy the old flower stems, and it makes new growth in Spring. It is very attractive to pollinating insects.
This Salvia has most impact when planted in small groups and will look its best in a soil improved with some compost or organic matter. A light mulching of the soil in the hottest summer months will help prolong the flowering period.
We are a plant nursery in the Algarve specialising in dry mediterranean species. We propagate and grow our own stock in conditions they are likely to endure when they are planted out.
We grow plants that are adapted to the dry land conditions in Portugal and southern Spain, both mediterranean perennials and succulents.
We choose plants that require very little water and maintenance. We produce a range of dry land plants that are typical of the worlds mediterranean regions. These are available to order ready for planting in the wetter months of the year. Please order the plants you need and we’ll have them ready at the best time for planting.
To ensure your new plants adapt and establish quickly, we produce them in special anti-spiral root pruning containers and a range of fibre pots (no plastic waste) with our own tried and tested growing media.
